I finished developing a website using a MCMS2002 with SP1a... i
deployed it under the default website (under IIS, windows 2003) and
it's working fine (http://localhost/myMCMSWebsite)...

but i need to run this website on a seperate website (port 888)... i
made a new website under the IIS with a headername of (myMCMSWebsite),
and in SCA i set the option (Map Channel Names to Host Header Names) to

YES, and in the Web i set the Web entry point for (myMCMSWebsite) to
MCMS (read/write) ...


In the site manager i have the under (Channels) the Channel
(myMCMSWebsite)


but the website (http://localhost:888) doesn't work, and gives Bad
Request (Invalid Hostname)


what the solution for teh problem

Hi Babuzaid,

that is not a MCMS related question but a IIS related question.
You configured your IIS website to listen on host header name
"myMCMSWebsite".
But you are trying to connect with the name "localhost". This will not work.
This website will only respond to requests configured with the name
"myMCMSWebsite".

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi,

if you place a html file in the root of the site. Are you able to retrieve
this?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi,

if the problem occurs with a static html page it is not a MCMS related
question.
Please post this question to an IIS related newsgroup.

Cheers,
Stefan

I think the problem in matching the website with the MCMS channel
(myMCMSWebSite) ... i mean when putting the application under the
default website with the same name of the my Channel (from MCMS site
manager) it's working fine , but when putting it under a sperate
website it cann't tell whcih MCMS channel to run (since other html,
asp, aspx pages - non MCMS- are working fine) but the website can't get
the default MCMS page of my application.

so my question how to macth between the channel name (under MCMS site
manager) and my website name (under IIS), what steps should I follow in
site manager or SCA or IIs to set up this issue.

Hi,

not sure what you mean.
MCMS does not use the IIS settings to determine the channel.
It only uses the server name you entered in your URL.
The root channel in MCMS needs to be identical to the name you entered in
the URL.

But again: if a static page in the root of the site does not work then it is
not a MCMS problem as the request is not for a MCMS managed item and MCMS
will not interact with the request.

Cheers,
Stefan
